With one image posted on his Facebook page, Vin Diesel has driven the Internet crazy. But this is to be expected when one of the most in-demand box office stars on the planet announces a highly secretive meeting with Marvel Studios—the comic book film behemoth responsible for well over 2 billion dollars worth of blockbuster movie hits that includes the Iron Man franchise and The Avengers. “Only the people in the room can tell you what was discussed,” Diesel wrote. “Thanks to Our page, for pushing to make it happen… you know I get tunnel vision with my work… and after that meeting today… wow!”

So which Marvel character will Diesel take on? Some fans have thrown out such names as the Black Panther (are you kidding?) and Luke Cage (his Fast & Furious cohort Tyrese would actually be a better pick). Indeed, this is serious business. With Iron Man 3 fresh off of breaking theater records, and the next installments of Thor and Captain America filming—as well as the intriguing intergalactic gamble Guardians of the Galaxy in development—Diesel could be the next high-profile name to bask in the money-printing glow of superhero (or villain) glory, Here are a few suggestions, Mr. Diesel. Just cut the check. —Keith Murphy (@murphdogg29)
